Completion of Rowan View for Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust

We are delighted to have handed over the £51m Rowan View Medium Secure Mental Health Unit in Liverpool to the Client, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. The works were procured through the P21+ Framework.

The facility has 123 beds located over eight wards, specialist learning disability and mental health wards, a social hub, café, therapy rooms, multi-faith room, sports hall, gym, music rooms, skills for life room, IT suite, bank and physical health suite. It will also house an environment that will promote the integration of physical and mental wellbeing with use of modern technology throughout the unit for the benefits of patients and staff.

Once opened later in the year, the unit will treat men and women with mental health problems who have come through the courts.

This unit will bring together the service users benefiting from medium secure services both with a learning disability (currently cared for at the Whalley and Gisburn sites) and mental illness (currently cared for at the Scott clinic).

Peter Commins, Regional Director for Kier Regional Building, said: “I would like to convey my thanks to our dedicated site team and supply chain for their determination in keeping the project operational and safe in line with the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) guidance throughout COVID-19”
